At boot prompt enter '-s' for 'single user mode' 3. At 'Shell prompt' hit <enter> or type "/bin/csh" 4. mount / (mounts / read-write) 5. mount /usr (gives you /usr/* so you can use vi and shared libs) 6. Make your fixes (e.g. vipw, passwd, vi /etc/rc.conf) 7. <ctrl-D> - system continues booting. Have fun. Danny
